More Trump Backlash: Students tell black kids to get to the back of the bus

Dozens of Missouri high school students Wednesday walked out of class to protest racially charged incidents and what students say is a lack of appropriate response from the school administration.According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, at least 150 students assembled outside Ladue Horton Watkins High School and marched towards the district’s administrative offices, demanding speak with the superintendent.

The protest stemmed from an incident Thursday when a group of students on a school bus chanted “Trump” while two white students told their black peers to sit in the back of the bus. Those two students were disciplined.

Tuesday, parents, teachers, students and alumni gathered at the school board meeting to express their disgust over last week’s incidents.

The district said it’s working on several tolerance initiatives, including diversity and equity training for staff. But Ladue Horton Watkins High principal acknowledged, “there is continued work to be done and we do know challenges lie ahead but now is our opportunity to bridge these issues.”

At the walkout Wednesday, Walker said the racially charged incidents required more of a response from the administration.

“We’ll come back to school when they treat us right,” Walker told the Dispatch. “If they suspend me, they better suspend everybody.”

So what? How many blacks have dished out looting/rioting/raping/murdering/racism towards everyone else since their own president got in? This was bound to happen! Other races face racism on a daily basis yet nobody kicks up a stink over them!

Their behavior was due to the racism that they had had to survive ever since they had been slaves and had received their freedom. Freedom brought them segregation and no civil rights. So we need to live together as equals now and accept each other as we are and let go of the hatred that makes you look at others as less than. Let’s look at life from the positive point of view. We can take care of everyone and we can make racism a thing of the past for everyone. By the way, other minorities have complained about racism. All groups have complained about racism. We can end that for everyone.

Hank Johnson Justice Fund

NO JUSTICE, NO MONEY
In the wake of the killings of unarmed black men and boys and the outrageous failure to prosecute their killers, Hank Johnson is introducing the Grand Jury Reform Act. This bill will prohibit the use of a grand jury when determining whether to prosecute a police officer in the event of a death. The status quo isn’t working. The evidence is clear. The people are demanding a real response from their elected leaders.
